Stay With Me

Chapter 46

Song ATM Happy by Leona Lewis

****

I groaned turning on my other side feeling so comfortable and warm... until my mind finally caught up with me. My heart skipped it beat remembering it all. My mothers funeral, leaving with Cam and... my eyes shot open and I looked around the room. This wasn't my room, it was... I tensed feeling my whole body get pulled into someones hold.

Cam.

I just laid there quietly thinking of what to do at the moment. It was dark outside now meaning it was over... I swallowed hard feeling horrible but tried to push it all back in my mind. I know it was wrong to leave but, I couldn't do it. I hope she understands it too even after all that happened between us.

Feel like the only thing that kept me sane was him...

We barely even spoke today we just drove around in silence and I thank him for that. He didn't push it and he didn't make me feel guilty for my decision to leave. Even though I felt that way. I just needed space away from everything and he gave me that.

I looked at the clock reading 1:25 am. I don't even remember coming to his house, guess I fell asleep in the car. I sighed slowly and quietly getting out of his hold to grab my stuff. I know yesterday I was in a bad spot but, I still wasn't sure how things would go between us once he woke up. Would it be awkward? Would there be tension after all that happen in Cali?

I wasn't sure and I would admit, I was kind of nervous to find that out. Even though he did this, it didn't mean everything was fixed. I would do the same for him even after it all that happened...

He cares.

He's doing this because he feels bad but, nothing will happen after this so just go home.

I hurried grabbing my purse, jacket and heels quietly. As I walked towards the door one of my heels slipped out of my arm hitting the floor with a thud. I heard the bed shift and my heart dropped. Fuck my life.

"Leah? What are you doing?" I swallowed hard and shook my head. "I- i'm just heading out. Thank you for tod- yesterday" I whispered opening the door. "It's almost 1:30 in the morning and you're gonna leave now?" he asked tiredly but I didn't respond walking out quickly. I went up the steps and to my surprise he was right behind me calling my name loudly.

"Leah?" he yelled and I sighed getting to the front door. I opened the door to see it pouring outside and I actually smiled a bit. I love the rain. I walked out feeling a few drops before I was pulled back inside by him. "You can't walk home" he stated and I pulled away walking out and going down the steps without another word.

"Leah!" he called now walking out of the house. He pulled me again "Just come back inside, I'll drop you in the morning. I promise" he said breathing watching me worried but I just shook my head "No i'm just gonna go now" Waiting till the morning would be even more awkward now. "I'll drop you. Let's me get my key-" "No I can walk-" I protested and he instantly shook his head looking a bit pissed.

"No. Definitely not in the r-" "I'm fine Cameron. Thank you for taking care of me before but I'm fine now so go back inside" I said pulling away walking "Leah-" "Go ba-" "Since you wanna walk home, I'll walk with you" he said hurrying to me making me sigh "No" "Well either you let me walk with you or we go back to the house and get my keys" he yelled making me shut up instantly.

"Its raining, you're barefoot, and it's too fucking late to be walking alone. I know you're still hurting but i'm not gonna let you do something stupid like this. Now just wait for a second, i'll get my keys" he ordered not waiting for me to respond. I nodded not looking up to him but, I saw him walk away.
